“TRAI categorically denies any role in the acceptance or rejection of such individual SMS campaigns. The approval or rejection of SMS message templates is carried out by the Telecom Service Providers (TSPs),” it said in a statement.
Maintaining that TRAI is not involved in the acceptance or rejection of individual SMS campaigns, it asserted that these functions are carried out by TSPs in accordance with the framework prescribed under TCCCPR, 2018.
